At Atlas Academy, we believe that a strong partnership between home and school gives every child the best possible start in life. As your child’s first and most important educator, the role you play is vital to their development, learning, and wellbeing.
We value our parents as partners and work closely with families to ensure all our pupils thrive – academically, socially and emotionally. Together, we can help children grow into confident, resilient and independent learners.
How you can help
There are many simple but powerful ways you can support your child:
- Ensure good attendance – every day really does matter
- Encourage a healthy lifestyle – nutritious food, exercise, outdoor play and regular tooth brushing
- Model a positive attitude to school and learning – show curiosity, ask questions, and celebrate effort
- Support school values and routines – be a role model for kindness, respect and responsibility
- Take an interest in your child’s day – ask what they’re learning and celebrate their progress
- Spend quality time together – talk, read, play, and explore
